CHAPTER II. Development of Indicators, Values and Weights in the Domain of Governance

     The governance domain is one of the tools in assessing the condition of fisheries management with an ecosystem approach. It is used to analyze the environmental status of fish resources so that strategic steps can be taken to regulate fishing efforts in inland waters. Through a joint consultation forum with national and regional fisheries stakeholders, the main indicators of Fisheries Management with an Ecosystem Approach have been formulated for inland general fisheries. In the Governance domain, there are 5 key indicators, namely: (1) Compliance with the principles of sustainable fisheries, (2) Completeness of legal rules, (3) Local wisdom, (4) Decision-making mechanisms, and (5) Policy-based Fisheries Management ecosystem.

     The definition of compliance with responsible fisheries principles in this module is the level of compliance of all stakeholders with the principles of sustainable fisheries, both in formal and informal rules. Measuring compliance indicators with the principles of responsible fisheries is conducted to determine the violations in fisheries management practices in an inland water ecosystem. In measuring indicators of compliance with the principles of responsible fishing, measured parameters include types of violations in fishing practices by fishing communities in an inland waters ecosystem, the number of violations that occur, categories of violations, locations of violations, analysis of the impact of violations, and law enforcement. Assessment of compliance indicators with the principles of responsible fisheries uses a Likert scale of 1 to 3. The criteria for indicators of compliance with the principles of responsible fisheries, namely, the more fishing violations occur, the smaller the value, and vice versa.

     The definition of legal completeness in this technical guideline is the availability of legal rules or regulations within the framework of fisheries management in inland waters. Measuring indicators of the completeness of legal rules are carried out to determine the capacity of a region to regulate the practice of exploiting fish resources in its working area. In measuring indicators of the completeness of the rule of law, the parameters measured include the number and type of regulations issued, the completeness of the rule of law, and the law enforcement officer involved. Assessment of the rule of law indicator's completeness uses a Likert scale of 1 to 3. As for the value criteria for the completeness of the rule of law indicator, the more complete the rule of law is, the greater the value, and vice versa.

     The definition of local wisdom in this module is the application of agreed social/customary laws and applied in the community. Local wisdom indicators are measured to measure the suitability of implementing non-formal laws with the principles of sustainable fisheries. In measuring indicators of local wisdom, the parameters include the types of non-formal laws that apply in a fishing community and the sanctions imposed. Local wisdom indicators are assessed using a Likert scale of 1 to 3. As for the value criteria for local wisdom indicators, the more in line with the principles of sustainable fisheries management means, the greater the value, and vice versa.

     The definition of a decision-making mechanism in this module is the method taken by a fishery community in making decisions related to sustainable fisheries management. It includes resolving disputes or taking action against fisheries violations. Measuring indicators of decision-making mechanisms are carried out to determine community involvement in decision-making. In measuring indicators of the decision-making mechanism, the parameters measured include institutional structure, types of decisions, roles of leaders, and the number of people involved. The assessment of the decision-making mechanism indicators uses a Likert scale of 1 to As for the value criteria for the decision-making mechanism indicators, the more people involved in decision-making, the greater the value, and vice versa.

     The definition of an ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policy for Fisheries Management can be a Fisheries Management Plan (RPP). It is based on the type of fish or an ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Unit Strategic Plan. The RPP, as stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Number 22 of 2022, is a policy document containing all efforts to achieve the continuity of the productivity of aquatic biological resources and the agreed goals. Measurement indicators of ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policy are carried out to determine the availability and level of implementation of agreed fisheries management action plans. In measuring indicators of ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policy, the Parameters measured include the availability of RPP or ecosystem-based

     Fisheries Management Unit Strategic Plan and implementation of the action plan. The ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policy indicators assessment uses a Likert scale of 1 to 3. Then, the value criteria for ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policy indicators, namely ecosystem-based Fisheries Management Policies supported by regional planning documents, the greater the value, and vice versa. Regional planning documents include activity and budget plans, regional spatial layout plans, regional medium-term development plans, and/or others.
